Synopsis

An outstanding collection of papers written by Jungian analysts from different schools of analytical psychology on various aspects of psychopathology. The subjects covered include: depression, anorexia, schizoid personality, narcissistic personality disorder, mania, psychosis, paranoia, masochism, fetishism, transvestisism, perversion, marital dysfunction, survivor syndrome, and old age. The contributors include some of the most creative and distinguished clinicians in the Jungian world today. The book is intended to appeal beyond the Jungian community, and the editor's introductory remarks which precede each paper highlight (and where necessary explain) concepts and attitudes which seem special to analytical psychology. In this way, psychoanalytically and eclectically orientated practitioners can make full use of this book.

Media Reviews
This collection of excellent essays is the work of twenty outstanding Jungian analysts from different schools of analytic psychology. The chapters communicate and clarify some of Jung's more difficult concepts...A resource for practitioners, it may also be of great interest to students and the educated layperson...The reader will find this book filled with vigorous and vital thoughts... --Jeanne Ma, New Ideas in Psychology

This is a book that everyone seriously interested in psychopathology (should) have on their shelves, for reference to illuminate clinical problems as they arise.' -- British Journal of Medical Psychology
[This volume] shows how much we can learn from Jungian and post-Jungian formulations. We are helped by their acceptance and development of symbolic values. They alert us to the possibility of future potentialities and syntheses. Arcane concepts which previously bemused us are unveiled and their mysteries illuminated. -- British Journal of Psychiatry
Andrew Samuels' intention to make Jung familiar to a wider public, perhaps particularly to psychotherapists of other analytic schools, is amply supported by this book....It is to be recommended to anyone interested in realizing how comprehensive a contribution Jung made and how contemporary Jungians are developing their work.' -- Free Associations
There is no doubt that these papers offer significant insights about the work with difficult patients that everyone practicing psychoanalysis is concerned with. There are real additions to our clinical knowledge in this book...' -- Journal of Analytic Psychology
With a useful introduction by Andrew Samuels, this volume attests to the fact that contemporary Jungian scholarship is alive and well.' -- Psychoanalytic Books
